A setting around 21 enables you to 
obtain an optimum level of comfort. 
Depending on your requirements, a 
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
In addition, it is recommended that you 
avoid a left/right setting difference of 
more than 3.

Dual-zone automatic air conditioning

offers the best compromise between 
a comfortable temperature and quiet 
operation.

Provides soft and quiet operation by 
limiting air flow.

Provides strong and effective air flow.

F  Press the "AUTO" button 

repeatedly.

Automatic comfort mode

Temperature

F  Push the button down to 

reduce the value or up to 
increase it.

When the engine is cold, the air flow will 
only reach its optimum level gradually 
to prevent too great a distribution of 
cold air.
In cold weather, it favours the 
distribution of warm air to the 
windscreen, the side windows and the 
footwells only.

The active mode appears in the display screen, 
as described below:

If desired, you can choose settings different 
to those offered by the system, by adjusting a 
setting manually. The other functions are still 
managed automatically.
The "AUTO" symbol disappears if you modify 
a setting.

Manual mode

The driver and front passenger can each set 
the temperature to suit their requirements.
The value indicated in the screen corresponds 
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in 
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Visibility programme

F  Press the "visibility" button for 

faster demisting or defrosting 
of the windscreen and side 
windows.

F  Press the "visibility" button 

again to stop the programme.

The system automatically manages the 
air conditioning, air flow and air intake and 
distributes the flow of air to the windscreen and 
side windows to the best effect.

For maximum cooling or heating of 
the passenger compartment, you can 
exceed the minimum value of 14 or the 
maximum value of 28.

F  Push the button down 

until "LO" is displayed 
or up until "HI" is 
displayed.

on entering the vehicle, if the interior 
temperature is much colder or warmer 
than the comfort value, there is no need 
to alter the value displayed in order to 
obtain the required level of comfort. 
The system corrects the temperature 
difference automatically and as quickly 
as possible.

"Mono" function

The comfort setting for the passenger side 
can be indexed to the driver's comfort setting 
(mono-zone).

The function is deactivated automatically if a 
passenger uses the temperature control.

F  Press this button to increase air 

flow.

Air distribution

F  Press this button repeatedly to 

direct the air flow in turn to:

- 

the windscreen, the side windows and the 
footwells,

- 

the footwells.

- 

the central vents, the side vents and the 
footwells,

- 

the windscreen, the side windows, the 
centre vents and the footwells,

- 

the centre and side vents,

- 

the windscreen and side windows 
(demisting or defrosting).

Air flow

F  Press this button to decrease air 

flow.

The air flow symbol (a fan) appears. It is filled 
in or emptied progressively according to the 
setting.

Air conditioning

It enables you to:
- 

lower the temperature, in summer,

- 

increase the effectiveness of the demisting 
in winter, above 3°C.

Switching on

With the engine running, the air conditioning is 
designed to operate effectively in all seasons, 
with the windows closed.

The air conditioning does not operate 
when the air flow adjustment is set  
to off.

To obtain cool air more quickly, you 
can use interior air recirculation for 
a few moments. Then return to the 
intake of exterior air.

F  Press this button; its indicator 

lamp comes on.

F  Press this button again; its 

indicator lamp goes off.

Switching off

Switching off may result in some 
discomfort (humidity, misting).

Switching the system off

F  Press this button until the fan 

symbol disappears.

This action switches off all of the functions of 
the system.
The temperature is no longer controlled. 
A slight flow of air, resulting from the movement 
of the vehicle, remains perceptible however.

Avoid driving for too long with the 
system switched off (risk of misting and 
of deterioration of the air quality).

Air intake / Air recirculation

The intake of exterior air avoids misting of the 
windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates the 
passenger compartment from exterior odours 
and smoke.

Return to exterior air intake as soon as 
possible to avoid deterioration of the air 
quality and the formation of mist.

This allows hot or cold air to be 
delivered quickly when required.

F  Press this button to recirculate 

the interior air; the symbol 
appears.

F  Press this button again to allow 

exterior air into the passenger 
compartment; the symbol 
disappears.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance 
guidelines below:
F  To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles 

located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well 
as the air extractor located at the rear.

F  Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located at the top of the windscreen; this is used for 

regulation of the air conditioning system.

F  operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month 

to keep it in perfect working order.

F  ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter 

elements replaced regularly.

 

We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its 
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the 
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).

F  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have 

it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.

F  If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a PeugeoT dealer or 

a qualified workshop.

Recommendations for heating, ventilation and air conditioning

If after an extended stop in sunshine, 
the interior temperature is very high, first 
ventilate the passenger compartment for 
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high 
enough to quickly change the air in the 
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not 
contain chlorine and does not present 
any danger to the ozone layer.

The condensation created by the air 
conditioning results in a discharge 
of water under the vehicle which is 
perfectly normal.

When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the 
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.

Stop & Start

The heating and air conditioning 
systems only work when the engine is 
running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature 
in the passenger compartment, you can 
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start 
system.
For more information on Stop & Start, 
refer to the corresponding section.

Air vents

To close a vent, move the control 
towards the outside of the vehicle. Slight 
resistance may be felt.

Always switch off the programmable 
heating while refuelling to avoid any risk 
of fire or explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxication and 
asphyxiation, the programmable 
heating must not be used, even for 
short periods, in an enclosed area such 
as a garage or workshop not equipped 
with exhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle on an 
inflammable surface (dry grass, dead 
leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.
glazed surfaces such as the rear 
screen or windscreen can become very 
hot in places.
Take care not to place objects in 
contact with these surfaces, nor touch 
them with your hands or any other part 
of your body.

The heating is activated provided that:
- 

the battery is sufficiently charged,

- 

the fuel level is adequate,

- 

the engine has been started since 
the previous heating cycle.

The programmable heating system is 
supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough 
fuel in the tank.
If the tank is on reserve, it is 
recommended that the system is not 
used.

The ventilation is activated provided 
that the battery is sufficiently charged.
